|author=Mario Giordano
|title=Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions
|rating=4
|genre=Crime
|summary=Poldi had not long been widowed when she decided to move from Bavaria to Sicily with the intention of drinking herself to death. She could, of course, have done this in Germany, but she felt that a sea view was essential. Once there, new friends, family already resident on the island and the corpse of a young man, his face blown off by a shotgun, whom she found on the local beach, intervened to give her life some meaning. For a while she was a suspect, but that (and her wig) were no obstacle to her falling for Commissario Vito Montana who was assigned to investigate the case. Assisting him (or having him assist her) came naturally to Poldi and before long there was an investigative and personal partnership. At least so far as Poldi was concerned.

|title=Death Wears a Beauty Mask
|rating=4
|genre=Short Stories
|summary=In 1972, Mary Higgins Clark began writing a novella entitled ''Death Wears a Beauty Mask.'' She struggled with the story and put it aside, where it lay forgotton for several decades. When the author rediscovered the manuscript amongst some old files, she decided that she liked it and was ready to complete the long-awaited ending. ''Death Wears a Beauty Mask'' joins some of her other works, both old and new, in an entertaining collection of short stories full of mystery and suspense.
